The Honorable Janet Napolitano, Governor
The Honorable Timothy Bee, President of the Senate
The Honorable James P. Weirs, Speaker of the House of Representatives
Ms. Michelle Reilly, State Documents Librarian, AZ Library, Archives, and Public Records
I have the honor of submitting the first annual report on the Early Graduation Scholarship Grant ( EGSG)
Program on behalf of the Arizona Commission for Postsecondary Education ( ACPE). This nonâ€ need based
grant is intended to act as an incentive for high school students to graduate early and promptly transition
into a postsecondary education experience. This report includes information on the first partial year of
Grant administration ( September 17, 2007 to June 30, 2008) and a progress report on the administration
of the Program since the end of the 2008 fiscal year. Challenges facing the effective administration of the
program are also addressed within the report.
The first partial year of planning and initial program development occurred in FY 2007â€ 2008 and resulted
in 41 scholarship awards. The funds to administer the program were received in January of 2008 and
hiring staff, developing a webâ€ based application, and promotion of the program began after receipt of
these resources.
The first quarter of 2008â€ 2009 saw implementation of the first steps of an early awareness
communications program and the launch of a webâ€ based application system. The objectives of these
initiatives are ( 1) to inform students and families so they can plan student course schedules in order to
benefit from the scholarship and ( 2) to make the application process as easy and efficient as possible for
students and their families.
The Arizona Grants website www. azgrants. gov represents a single portal for students and families to
access and apply for five separate State grants. The result of EGSG being added to this portal was 212
EGSG applications over a three month time period.
The staff members of the ACPE are dedicated to continuous improvement of the Early Graduation
Scholarship Grant Program through effective and efficient processes and measurement of outcomes. The
ACPE staff look forward to fully developing this pathway to aid students seeking a postsecondary
education experience for the benefit of Arizonaâ€™s educated workforce.

The Arizona Commission for Postsecondary Education ( ACPE)
Early Graduation Scholarship Grant ( EGSG) Program
2007- 2008 Annual Report
Submitted November 30, 2008
Dr. April L. Osborn, Executive Director
Introduction and Description of the Scholarship
On September 17, 2007, a new legislative mandate titled the Early Graduation Scholarship Grant
( EGSG) Program went into effect. This report includes information on the first partial year
( September 17, 2007 to June 30, 2008) of Grant administration and a progress report on the
administration of the Program since the end of the 2008 fiscal year. As requested in statute this
report includes information on the number of early graduates, the number of scholarships provided
to the students, where the students enrolled, and an administrative cost breakout for the Program.
This nonâ€ need based grant is intended to act as an incentive for high school students to graduate
early and promptly transition into a postsecondary education experience. High school students that
graduate at least one year early and enroll fullâ€ time can receive up to $ 1,250 for their first year and up
to $ 750 for their second year of postsecondary education; those who graduate one semester early
and enroll fullâ€ time can receive up to $ 1,000 their first year and up to $ 500 for their second year.
EGSG funds are available to early graduates to attend public/ private colleges, universities, community
colleges or vocational postsecondary institutions. Students may attend over 100 regionally or
nationally accredited institutions in the State of Arizona.
Arizona Statute directs the Department of Education ( ADE) to provide the Arizona Commission for
Postsecondary Education ( ACPE) with a list of early graduates with their identifying information,
cohort graduation date, early graduation date and high school of graduation. The Statute directs the
ACPE to administer the EGSG Program in conjunction with the ADE and to select eligible students each
year for participation in the EGSG Program.
Laying the Foundation: September 17, 2007 to June 30, 2008
The EGSG Program went into effect September 2007. Planning for the administration and start up of
the Grant began immediately with existing ACPE staff; however, funds were not available to develop a
webâ€ based application, hire financial aid professionals or promote the Program to students and
families until later. ADE transferred funds into the EGSG fund in January 2008. At that time, staff was
hired and an infrastructure was created for the EGSG program. In an effort to quickly make the grant
available to students a semiâ€ automatic online application was developed and made available to
students January 28, 2008.
Within a few months and with limited opportunity for promotion, the first payments to EGSG
students occurred April 8, 2008. The Speaker of the House and Representative Andy Tobin ( the
sponsor of the EGSG bill) presented the first thirteen students with their grant check in a ceremony at
the Capitol. Over the next few months, additional students completed the online application and
enrolled in school.
2
By June 30, 2008 fortyâ€ one students were paid their first of four payments for a total of $ 18,500. The
average grant amount for these students was $ 451.00. The total fiscal year student grant payments
reflect just the first of four payments to these students. An additional $ 41,375 is promised to these
students for future payments. Moreover, since students have three years to access EGSG funds and
additional students will apply over this time period. Of the fortyâ€ one students paid in 2008, forty
were one semester early graduates and one student was a one year early graduate. Of the early
graduates who received funding, thirtyâ€ seven students graduated from a high school district and four
students graduated from a charter high school. Of the fortyâ€ one early graduates on scholarship, nine
went to a university, twentyâ€ eight went to a community college, one enrolled in a private institution,
and three students attended a vocational school.
The final Arizona Department of Education Count of Early Graduates for 2008 which was received by
the ACPE on October 2, 2008 shows a total of 2,569 students graduated early; between September
17, 2007 and June 30, 2008. Of those that graduated early, 1,651 students were reported as one
semester early graduates and 918 students were reported as one year early graduates. The final
Arizona Department of Education Count of SAIS ID Early Graduates report for 2008 is attached to this
narrative which is broken down by district and high school.
The balance in the Early Graduation Scholarship Grant fund as of June 30, 2008 was $ 3,135,817.00.
These grant funds are being held for three years awaiting application from the early graduates who
graduated after September 17, 2007.
Administrative Costs
Following the receipt of funds in January the Commission hired two employees to administer the
Program, develop the student web portal for a single point of entry for application, and promote the
program to students, families, and educators. The Commission is allotted 5% of the program funds
for general administration. As of June 30, 2008 the Commission spent $ 70, 294 on general
administration and start up costs. The administrative costs the fiscal year 07â€ 08 are as follows:
Personal Services and Employee Related Expenses $ 52, 487
( Student Financial Aid Director and an Associate)
Professional and Outside Services $ 7,831
( Website Programming Application)
Other Operating Expenses $ 7,164
( Rent, printing, advertising, office supplies,
Postage and telephones)
Technology $ 2,812
( Two computers for new staff)
Total $ 70,294
Building the Program: Infrastructure and Awareness
In the 2008 Legislative session two statutory changes were made to the Program. First, was the
removal of the promissory note. It was replaced with additional accountability measures such as
administering the funds in four payments each after confirmation of Satisfactory Academic Progress
and student class attendance. The second change allowed the Commission staff to gather cost of
3
attendance information at the time of institutional verification. These changes to the EGSG Program
have contributed to streamlining the application process, and thereby providing fewer deterrents to
students to access funds.
Since the end of the 2008 fiscal year, the Commission has focused on two objectives: ( 1) building the
infrastructure and ( 2) promoting the EGSG Program to target groups. Central to the infrastructure
was implementing an easy and efficient application process for students. The EGSG application
process has been streamlined into a fully automated online student portal creating more efficiency.
This online grant system serves two functions. First, it allows students to apply for any of the five
State grants with one single application. All student grant data is collected on one single application
and matched with the studentâ€™s federal financial aid application ensuring students are considered for
all possible financial assistance. Second, the institution is able to access the website to provide the
ACPE with needed information such as attendance, cost of attendance, and satisfactory academic
progress. Since the information is all collected and shared online, the grant awarding process is much
quicker, and there is less chance of error. Students also benefit from the online system by having the
ability to monitor their grant application online.
The new fully automated online grant application system was launched in August/ September 2008
and can be viewed at www. azgrants. gov. Since that time there have been 212 new student
applications. These include both one semester and one year early graduates. As of November 2008,
a total of $ 37,596 has been paid to 68 new students. The Commission has to hold funds for the early
graduates for three years. An additional $ 84,500 is promised to these awarded students for future
payments in following semesters.
The second objective or area of focus is raising the awareness/ promotion of the EGSG Program. Since
the ACPE does not have access to names and contact information for the early graduates or families,
the bulk of communication is sent to those who work with and influence the early graduates. The
ACPE staff has expanded the communication and promotion of the Program to influential
stakeholders including: high school counselors/ administrators, admissions, outreach and financial aid
professionals at Arizona postsecondary institutions, college access programs and members of the
community. Emphasis is placed on building partnerships with professionals who can identify and
educate potential early graduates of the Program. One method implemented is a biâ€ weekly email
communication sent to all high school counselors. The staff has also provided Program information
for the high school websites and financial aid nights. In addition, regular email communications are
also sent to admissions/ outreach and financial aid professionals at the postsecondary institutions
regarding the EGSG Program.
A long term goal is to reach students in middle school so that they can plan to graduate early.
Students live in an online world. The ACPE has created accounts for the EGSG Program in MySpace
and Face Book in an effort to target students. These online social networks will allow students to view
Program information, and reach ACPE staff through social networks online. ACPE staff continues to
explore other online promotion avenues to reach the students such as iâ€ TunesU.
The administration of the EGSG program is challenging in several ways. First, ACPE is unable to access
the names and addresses of the early graduates. Therefore, ACPE cannot directly communicate with
the students and families regarding the Program. Second, because the early graduates names and
contact information is unknown the ACPE cannot account for funds by student, making financial
predications and fund accountability challenging. Third, ADE informs the ACPE that reports from the
4
SAIS system can be modified as long as to two years after a student graduates, making it difficult to
rely on the validity of the data.
The EGSG Grant has potential to serve large numbers of students and increase participation in
postsecondary education. Promotion and administration of this grant for a full year ( 2008â€ 2009) will
allow the Commission to begin to assess the potential impact of this new financial assistance program
to the State. The mission of the Arizona Commission for Postsecondary Education is expanding
access and increasing success in postsecondary education for Arizonans. The Commissioners and staff
continue to work to find new and inventive ways to reach the Arizona early graduates and those who
influence them. This EGSG Program represents a new pathway to higher education that can be very
valuable to the State and its future educated workforce.

The Honorable Janet Napolitano, Governor
The Honorable Timothy Bee, President of the Senate
The Honorable James P. Weirs, Speaker of the House of Representatives
Ms. Michelle Reilly, State Documents Librarian, AZ Library, Archives, and Public Records
I have the honor of submitting the first annual report on the Early Graduation Scholarship Grant ( EGSG)
Program on behalf of the Arizona Commission for Postsecondary Education ( ACPE). This nonâ€ need based
grant is intended to act as an incentive for high school students to graduate early and promptly transition
into a postsecondary education experience. This report includes information on the first partial year of
Grant administration ( September 17, 2007 to June 30, 2008) and a progress report on the administration
of the Program since the end of the 2008 fiscal year. Challenges facing the effective administration of the
program are also addressed within the report.
The first partial year of planning and initial program development occurred in FY 2007â€ 2008 and resulted
in 41 scholarship awards. The funds to administer the program were received in January of 2008 and
hiring staff, developing a webâ€ based application, and promotion of the program began after receipt of
these resources.
The first quarter of 2008â€ 2009 saw implementation of the first steps of an early awareness
communications program and the launch of a webâ€ based application system. The objectives of these
initiatives are ( 1) to inform students and families so they can plan student course schedules in order to
benefit from the scholarship and ( 2) to make the application process as easy and efficient as possible for
students and their families.
The Arizona Grants website www. azgrants. gov represents a single portal for students and families to
access and apply for five separate State grants. The result of EGSG being added to this portal was 212
EGSG applications over a three month time period.
The staff members of the ACPE are dedicated to continuous improvement of the Early Graduation
Scholarship Grant Program through effective and efficient processes and measurement of outcomes. The
ACPE staff look forward to fully developing this pathway to aid students seeking a postsecondary
education experience for the benefit of Arizonaâ€™s educated workforce.

The Arizona Commission for Postsecondary Education ( ACPE)
Early Graduation Scholarship Grant ( EGSG) Program
2007- 2008 Annual Report
Submitted November 30, 2008
Dr. April L. Osborn, Executive Director
Introduction and Description of the Scholarship
On September 17, 2007, a new legislative mandate titled the Early Graduation Scholarship Grant
( EGSG) Program went into effect. This report includes information on the first partial year
( September 17, 2007 to June 30, 2008) of Grant administration and a progress report on the
administration of the Program since the end of the 2008 fiscal year. As requested in statute this
report includes information on the number of early graduates, the number of scholarships provided
to the students, where the students enrolled, and an administrative cost breakout for the Program.
This nonâ€ need based grant is intended to act as an incentive for high school students to graduate
early and promptly transition into a postsecondary education experience. High school students that
graduate at least one year early and enroll fullâ€ time can receive up to $ 1,250 for their first year and up
to $ 750 for their second year of postsecondary education; those who graduate one semester early
and enroll fullâ€ time can receive up to $ 1,000 their first year and up to $ 500 for their second year.
EGSG funds are available to early graduates to attend public/ private colleges, universities, community
colleges or vocational postsecondary institutions. Students may attend over 100 regionally or
nationally accredited institutions in the State of Arizona.
Arizona Statute directs the Department of Education ( ADE) to provide the Arizona Commission for
Postsecondary Education ( ACPE) with a list of early graduates with their identifying information,
cohort graduation date, early graduation date and high school of graduation. The Statute directs the
ACPE to administer the EGSG Program in conjunction with the ADE and to select eligible students each
year for participation in the EGSG Program.
Laying the Foundation: September 17, 2007 to June 30, 2008
The EGSG Program went into effect September 2007. Planning for the administration and start up of
the Grant began immediately with existing ACPE staff; however, funds were not available to develop a
webâ€ based application, hire financial aid professionals or promote the Program to students and
families until later. ADE transferred funds into the EGSG fund in January 2008. At that time, staff was
hired and an infrastructure was created for the EGSG program. In an effort to quickly make the grant
available to students a semiâ€ automatic online application was developed and made available to
students January 28, 2008.
Within a few months and with limited opportunity for promotion, the first payments to EGSG
students occurred April 8, 2008. The Speaker of the House and Representative Andy Tobin ( the
sponsor of the EGSG bill) presented the first thirteen students with their grant check in a ceremony at
the Capitol. Over the next few months, additional students completed the online application and
enrolled in school.
2
By June 30, 2008 fortyâ€ one students were paid their first of four payments for a total of $ 18,500. The
average grant amount for these students was $ 451.00. The total fiscal year student grant payments
reflect just the first of four payments to these students. An additional $ 41,375 is promised to these
students for future payments. Moreover, since students have three years to access EGSG funds and
additional students will apply over this time period. Of the fortyâ€ one students paid in 2008, forty
were one semester early graduates and one student was a one year early graduate. Of the early
graduates who received funding, thirtyâ€ seven students graduated from a high school district and four
students graduated from a charter high school. Of the fortyâ€ one early graduates on scholarship, nine
went to a university, twentyâ€ eight went to a community college, one enrolled in a private institution,
and three students attended a vocational school.
The final Arizona Department of Education Count of Early Graduates for 2008 which was received by
the ACPE on October 2, 2008 shows a total of 2,569 students graduated early; between September
17, 2007 and June 30, 2008. Of those that graduated early, 1,651 students were reported as one
semester early graduates and 918 students were reported as one year early graduates. The final
Arizona Department of Education Count of SAIS ID Early Graduates report for 2008 is attached to this
narrative which is broken down by district and high school.
The balance in the Early Graduation Scholarship Grant fund as of June 30, 2008 was $ 3,135,817.00.
These grant funds are being held for three years awaiting application from the early graduates who
graduated after September 17, 2007.
Administrative Costs
Following the receipt of funds in January the Commission hired two employees to administer the
Program, develop the student web portal for a single point of entry for application, and promote the
program to students, families, and educators. The Commission is allotted 5% of the program funds
for general administration. As of June 30, 2008 the Commission spent $ 70, 294 on general
administration and start up costs. The administrative costs the fiscal year 07â€ 08 are as follows:
Personal Services and Employee Related Expenses $ 52, 487
( Student Financial Aid Director and an Associate)
Professional and Outside Services $ 7,831
( Website Programming Application)
Other Operating Expenses $ 7,164
( Rent, printing, advertising, office supplies,
Postage and telephones)
Technology $ 2,812
( Two computers for new staff)
Total $ 70,294
Building the Program: Infrastructure and Awareness
In the 2008 Legislative session two statutory changes were made to the Program. First, was the
removal of the promissory note. It was replaced with additional accountability measures such as
administering the funds in four payments each after confirmation of Satisfactory Academic Progress
and student class attendance. The second change allowed the Commission staff to gather cost of
3
attendance information at the time of institutional verification. These changes to the EGSG Program
have contributed to streamlining the application process, and thereby providing fewer deterrents to
students to access funds.
Since the end of the 2008 fiscal year, the Commission has focused on two objectives: ( 1) building the
infrastructure and ( 2) promoting the EGSG Program to target groups. Central to the infrastructure
was implementing an easy and efficient application process for students. The EGSG application
process has been streamlined into a fully automated online student portal creating more efficiency.
This online grant system serves two functions. First, it allows students to apply for any of the five
State grants with one single application. All student grant data is collected on one single application
and matched with the studentâ€™s federal financial aid application ensuring students are considered for
all possible financial assistance. Second, the institution is able to access the website to provide the
ACPE with needed information such as attendance, cost of attendance, and satisfactory academic
progress. Since the information is all collected and shared online, the grant awarding process is much
quicker, and there is less chance of error. Students also benefit from the online system by having the
ability to monitor their grant application online.
The new fully automated online grant application system was launched in August/ September 2008
and can be viewed at www. azgrants. gov. Since that time there have been 212 new student
applications. These include both one semester and one year early graduates. As of November 2008,
a total of $ 37,596 has been paid to 68 new students. The Commission has to hold funds for the early
graduates for three years. An additional $ 84,500 is promised to these awarded students for future
payments in following semesters.
The second objective or area of focus is raising the awareness/ promotion of the EGSG Program. Since
the ACPE does not have access to names and contact information for the early graduates or families,
the bulk of communication is sent to those who work with and influence the early graduates. The
ACPE staff has expanded the communication and promotion of the Program to influential
stakeholders including: high school counselors/ administrators, admissions, outreach and financial aid
professionals at Arizona postsecondary institutions, college access programs and members of the
community. Emphasis is placed on building partnerships with professionals who can identify and
educate potential early graduates of the Program. One method implemented is a biâ€ weekly email
communication sent to all high school counselors. The staff has also provided Program information
for the high school websites and financial aid nights. In addition, regular email communications are
also sent to admissions/ outreach and financial aid professionals at the postsecondary institutions
regarding the EGSG Program.
A long term goal is to reach students in middle school so that they can plan to graduate early.
Students live in an online world. The ACPE has created accounts for the EGSG Program in MySpace
and Face Book in an effort to target students. These online social networks will allow students to view
Program information, and reach ACPE staff through social networks online. ACPE staff continues to
explore other online promotion avenues to reach the students such as iâ€ TunesU.
The administration of the EGSG program is challenging in several ways. First, ACPE is unable to access
the names and addresses of the early graduates. Therefore, ACPE cannot directly communicate with
the students and families regarding the Program. Second, because the early graduates names and
contact information is unknown the ACPE cannot account for funds by student, making financial
predications and fund accountability challenging. Third, ADE informs the ACPE that reports from the
4
SAIS system can be modified as long as to two years after a student graduates, making it difficult to
rely on the validity of the data.
The EGSG Grant has potential to serve large numbers of students and increase participation in
postsecondary education. Promotion and administration of this grant for a full year ( 2008â€ 2009) will
allow the Commission to begin to assess the potential impact of this new financial assistance program
to the State. The mission of the Arizona Commission for Postsecondary Education is expanding
access and increasing success in postsecondary education for Arizonans. The Commissioners and staff
continue to work to find new and inventive ways to reach the Arizona early graduates and those who
influence them. This EGSG Program represents a new pathway to higher education that can be very
valuable to the State and its future educated workforce.
